Bushnell Marine 7x50 Waterproof Binocular

I wasn't sure what to expect finding a fully featured pair of waterproof and fogproof pair of binoculars for a well know company like Bushnell for the price it was. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. They shipped fast arriving on time in 2 days. I opened the box to everything ready to go requiring minimum effort to get going. I did get a neoprene neck strap for comfort knowing these are a little on the heavy side. I decided since I don't need binoculars at distances short of 50 hands to get the individual focus so I don't have to refocus but the one time I set it up. Being my first time with the individual focus, it was easy to focus each eye with the other closed at a pine about 50 yards till I could make out each needle. Since then I haven't needed to adjust them at all. They work amazing from viewing wildlife to pool ng up at the night sky. It amazing how many more stars you can see!!! I would recommend these to anyone looking for a nice pair of well rounded binoculars.

We have gone through a lot of binoculars throughout our boating lifetime. You can spend a whole lot more money and get stabilization (which doesn't always work great and requires batteries) or get high end optics. I have had them all. I needed a pair of binoculars that worked, was at a great price, and didn't require batteries and this unit fit me needs perfectly! Highly recommend for a boating pair of binoculars.

everything is really thought out. even the finger indents. because the lense are 50 mm, they are not the lightest binoculars, but the clarity makes up for the weight.

You can adjust each eye separately for precise magnification clarity. The rubber is nice and tough with a grip that you can hold, even in rain and when your hands are slippery. They do not fog up either. A strap made of nylon attaches to the binos and a bag with an additional strap comes with it. Great product.

I lived the feel and the ease of using.This is the 3 rd pair of Bushnell binoculars that i have.First one over 30 years ago!

PROS:No fogging. Be aware that you must focus each eye separately - this eliminates the middle focus ring that then moves each eye cup. That means more places for water to get in.Bright and clear with sharp focus.7x50 - 7x means 7 times magnification, and 50 means 50mm lens size. 7x is the MAX for hand held especially in a boat. You could even lower that to 5x for a boat where the action of the waves makes if difficult to keep the image still.Solid build quality.CONS:A bit heavy / large. But this is the price you pay for large lens that let in lots of light and are very clear.No middle / center focus ring - each eye must be focused one at a time.Your hands / arms will tire quickly.Strap - could be longer by 12" or so and softer around the neck. You can easily replace or modify the strap.TIP:place hands as close to the end as possible to keep the image steady.

These are great! I adjusted the focus for both eyes for very distant objects (mostly what I'm looking at when boating). I took a silver sharpie and marked a dot on the diopter scales so I can re-focus quickly if someone's borrowed them or I was focused on something close up.Some complained the lens covers were loose. The top lens cover is a single cover for both lenses. You need to expand the binocular wide and the looseness goes away. The down-side is you have to re-adjust the width every time you get them out but it's a quick action.Bushnell sells two versions of their marine 7x35. This is the pair that doesn't have the compass or range finder. I'm more interested in what lure a fisherman is using, not his bearing or distance so no problem here.

Bought these for my dad who owns a boat. He loved them.
